Weekending

This post is for Angi.  She really likes it when bloggers go into very specific detail about their weekends. She'll appreciate whatever elements of satire are included in this post. (By "likes it", I mean "hates it".)

Things started off rather excitedly with some Mexican food, a margarita, and a 9pm bedtime on Friday night.

Saturday morning, the dishwasher repairman came over, so I had to be up and ready to go by 8:00am. 

I spent the morning grading papers.

I was inspecting the dishwasher after its repair, right when it shut off, and I burned my fingers on the heating element.

In the afternoon, I went for a pedicure with a couple of friends.  Two friends who I've been spending a lot of time with are named Kayla and Kristin.  Kayla's husband has coined us "K-cubed"...which we've agreed is better than "KKK".  I met them at a meet-and-greet a couple of months ago.  For anyone who thinks that meet-and-greet/army wife gatherings don't introduce you to people, you're totally wrong.  (If I can make friends that way, you can too! )  Anyway, this other Kristin teaches 2nd grade too.  How weird is that?

I did some clearance rack shopping at JCPenney's (buying no skirts of course...such a fail that was) and enjoyed a dinner of stir-fry and candy corn.

I picked out all the chocolate candy corn.  Yuck.  I'm a candy corn purist.

There was a Red's Strawberry Ale too.

I'd go into Sunday, but it wasn't very exciting.  I don't really remember it either.  I'm pretty sure there was more candy corn though.

You guys are going to get really sick of looking at this skirt (note: this is what a teacher's wrinkled skirt looks like at the end of the day). The shirt is from Target.  I love it.


Finally, this little guy turned four months old on Friday!
Let's end with that.
